Hacking USB Loader GX

[cobleman]

I installed r929.dol and now when I click on a game in cover flow nothing happens? I just get the 'click' sound and then... nothing.

Any ideas?

I actually have to hard reset the console before I can do anything after I have clicked a game :|

Go back to 921 change the main settings cios to boot from 222 then try 929 again

 

[chooch81]

I'll try that now - although I was only on 874 before.

How do you change the main settings cios to boot from 222?

 

[cobleman]

click on settings (left button with gears) Game load and boot standard

Why have there been no updates for over a month?

 

[OuahOuah]

Because except the new PoP, nothing new in the Wii world

And next update maybe on june, with SMG2

 

[Bladexdsl]

smg2 is out and it runs fine in GX

Because except the new PoP, nothing new in the Wii world

Except for the fact that the last 5 builds don't work with cIOSX rev19 & that Wiiflow and CFG are right on top of things but GX is falling behind.
C'mon guys... update... please? It's still my favorite loader but I've had to change until you fix what's broken and add the PoP fixes.

glad i stayed on rev17

I play without any problem with cIOSrev19.

And Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not out yet

You're telling me r923-r929 works with cIOSXrev19 using it as the boot standard? I think not.
And SMG2 has been dumped, works fine in all loaders.

 

[OuahOuah]

Ok for me, I didn't know SMG2 USA (not PAL) was dumped

But I can tell you that I play games with GXr929 + last Waninkoko's cIOS

(rev19).

have you tried different merges?

This is from thee 922 update

QUOTELog message

- Fixed Hermes rev5 issues (I think

)
- Added support for ciosx (yes, including FAT/NTFS) (As always, say thanks to
oggzee for this)
- Fixed bug with game specific settings (which *could* end up using other
settings than you expected)
- Removed fat_ffs for now (save game emulation might conflict with FAT/NTFS
support, we have to test this)
- Maybe more, but I forgot them, I think

Issue 1540 on the google code page confirms others with the same problem.
GX freezes as soon as you select a game with 929.

I'm using r921 which works fine, I'm just saying that I don't believe the person has r929 working with cIOSXrev19 using 249 as the boot standard.

 

[petspeed]

I believe the newer builds work fine with IOS249 rev19 as long as you use WBFS and not FAT or NTFS. That's based on different reports from people here on GBATEMP. But I am not completely sure as I use rev874 myself.

I agree about the lack of updates. I think the following lack in GX:

POP support
Rugby League 3 support
Hermes save emulation
Alt. Dol disc + (.wdm files)
Bugs fixed in newer builds
Correct gamename in the calendar in the Wii menu instead of 'USB Loader GX' (don't know the correct name for the list)

I know I am pushing it with this list and it is not meant as a complaint, just my wishes for the loader. I am very happy with GX and I would be sad if I have to change to another loader because newer games fail. However seeing that it's been a long time since the last update it would be nice to know if the team has intentions to continue the project or if they are about to stop development.

maybe but there are several merges and partition settings aswell as HDDs that can be tried and he/she maybe using a different setup to you

yes they do I can confirm the last 5 builds do work ..

cios rev 19 with ios 57 as a base

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Then why is there an issue on google code? I'm evidently not the only one it doesn't work for.
Any why would 921 work for me but not 927? The only thing possible is that it's a bug, or a change that was made to make it no longer work for some people, because nothing on my end changed except GX revisions.

EDIT: Just downloaded 918, 919, 920, 921, 923, 924, 926, 927, and 929 from the page instead of compiling my own.
918-921 work fine. 923-929 do not work. Deleted config files between changing dols.

EDIT 2: Figured it out. It's the Quick Boot feature that's broken after r921. If I turn quick boot on it works, turn it off and it freezes when selecting ANY game.
I like quick boot though, so I can hear the audio samples for each title.

My apologies for accusing anyone of lying. I guess those with it working have quick boot enabled.

Hopefully there's a fix for that soon, and for PoP so I don't need two different loaders installed just to play one game.

 

[Cyan]

it's not the quickboot which is broken. on contrary, quickboot help.
If I remember well, it's the audio from the channel which is broken.

You can either
disable audio from channel (seems not possible from the GUI options)
or set autoboot
or use cIOS rev17
or use rev921

 

[OuahOuah]

I use r929 with NTFS folder and .WBFS ISO on a NTFS partition
